Pom Pom Pullover
Difficulty: Intermediate
Pom Pom pullover is driven by classic A-Line fashion style. It features a comparable fitted neckline with a wide almost pleated bottom to high-waist length. Puff shoulder adds more of a ‘Pom’ character to the pullover. It is a casual but cute piece that goes well with high-waist skirt or pants. Also a darling company with any jeans.
Pullover is worked from top down in one piece in stockinette stitch and structured with German short rows.
